Wow! What a difference this makes. I have been slowly building my Sonos full surround system over the last several weeks. I had two Sonos Ones as left and right plus the Sub. The Arc makes this setup complete. Mids are stronger and the highs are tuned down a bit to make it not so harsh. Even though the price point is quite high, this is a must have component if you’re building out your Sonos surround system. One hiccup I had in setting everything up was that I needed to keep the WiFi enables on the Arc so the Ones and Sub could connect to each other. Other than that, this thing is pretty amazing.

3 stars is based on the Arc's performance in my specific use case. I purchased and installed the Sonos Arc with subwoofer and two OneSL surrounds in my great room (Living room, kitchen, dining room with a 16 foot vaulted ceiling) connected to a 2021 Sony A80J tv using the eARC. The Arc system is designed for traditional height, flat ceilings, and uses those ceilings and surrounding walls to reflect the sound to the listener. No sound bar system can compensate for the amount of space in my great room. My great room could not take advantage and benefit from what is otherwise a powerfully designed system in more accommodating spaces. In a smaller space, room, or apartment this system may perform as designed. To evaluate the Sonos Arc system I tuned the system using Sonos True Play app. I selected several recent movies using Dolby Atmos and Dolby 5.1. I did not notice substantial benefit with the Atmos height channels as they were just lost in my vaulted space. Likewise the side firing speakers were lost without a near wall to bounce off. Most concerning to me and not related to my space was the Sonos Arc's ability to clearly play dialogue. Some movies or programs the dialogue was so low it required increased volume that would become unbearable during audio filled action sequences. My previous low cost sound bar in the same space handled dialogue much better for FAR LESS money. The inability of the Arc to consistently and clearly play dialogue was the deal breaker for me. The OneSL surrounds did a good job performing their primary purpose, surround sound. They were clear and enhanced the experience. As stand alone bookshelf speakers for music they performed only ok. The sub was better placed in the rear, closer to the listening position, than in the front. The cost of the Sonos Arc and the Subwoofer is not a great value compared to lesser cost options. Even in a more accommodating space I cannot imagine the Sonos Arc is overwhelmingly better than lesser cost sound bar surround systems. At $2K the Sonos Arc package is as expensive as more capable entry level receivers and wired speakers. Overall, in the correct space for which the Arc system is designed it may be great. In my space it was simply underpowered and could not perform as designed. Overall value is very questionable.

Better than expected!! Love the sound and mostly the bass.

This sound bar does exactly what it says it'll do. Great surround sound from just 1 easilly conected device

Before receiving this sound bar, we were skeptical about whether it'd be worth the money, and how realistic surround sound would be. Simply put, my wife and I LOVE this thing. We keep it in the living room, and listen to music on the sound bar constantly (over AirPlay). Where the speaker really shines, though, is with surround sound audio—especially when the audio is formatted in Atmos. Sounds as though they're coming from above us—it's pretty incredible. I couldn't recommend this more highly. I can honestly say that this sound bar is one of our favorite purchases from the last year.

The sound from the Arc is exceptional. Paired with the sub and Ones you get the full movie theatre experience. Setup is very simple. Only gripe is that the sound cuts out occasionally when watching streaming content through my TV.

This is a great soundbar - rivals full surround sound speaker set. We love it. easy to set up and switches seamlessly across input content.

I feel like at the theater when its a higher volume and its clear!!!!

I ordered the Arc Sound Bar with Sub W and two One SL speakers. The setup was very easy using the Sonos App. It practically does everything for you. The sound is amazing. I watched Hamilton play and it was if I was in the theater. The speech enhancement feature is perfect and I no long have a problem understanding dialog on shows. Total system is expensive but well worth it!!

Excellent sound quality. Easy to set up through the app.

Excellent sound, although a bit expensive it’s definitely nice to hear the details that you would normally hear in a movie theatre. Simple and straightforward setup.

Phenomenal in every way. Pure sound and hookup. Base is superb for a sound bar. 5*

Sonos Arc is the best soundbar on the market. Easy to set up room with the app.

The Sonos Arc provides a great listening experience. The Sonos Arc provides clear sound that enhances your movie or sport viewing experience. I had been looking forward to getting this item for some time. I wish I hadn't waited this long. My TV viewing experience has been greatly enhanced since buying the Sonos Arc. When paired with the Sum Mini, it feels like being at the theater for movies or in the stands at a sporting event.

Love love love! I’ve been eyeing Sonos speakers for some time. Finally made a move and bought sound bars, subwoofers, and speakers for both TVs in the house. Not only the experience of watching movies upgraded, but I was aiming for the ease of combining or secluding sounds all over the house. I can listen to music, radio, or tv wherever I send the sound through my phone. It was worth the wait. I will be buying more speakers for sure.

Upgraded to the arc and couldn’t be happier. Easy to setup. Sounds fantastic! Be sure to tune through sonos’s app. You won’t be disappointed.

I replaced my Klipsch system with the Sonos arc the sound is unbelievable along with the sub mini

I was worried that it would be confusing but it has great sound, very easy set up, and easier to use.

Some of the best sound from a bar ever. Easy to set up.

Very good sound quality and the installation was done promptly, good quality workmanship and very considerate and kind installers. Glen Balagna spent considerable time helping us choose the right and the best system for our needs. We depend on Glen for all our special installs.
